When Your Cousin Turned Them Against You
Your cousin is charming with the grown-ups and something else entirely with you. At the last family gathering, you noticed the other cousins had gone a bit cold — and slowly you realised your cousin had been telling them things about you. Twisted versions of things. A story where you're the bad guy. Now there's a little group, and you're on the outside of it, and your cousin is right in the middle looking innocent. You want to defend yourself, but anything you say sounds like exactly what the "bad guy" in their story would say. You feel cornered, and you can't work out how to undo something you didn't even see being built.
